Shore Thing — Judy Katschke

Dear Diary,

I'm on a beach in Florida -- and I'm in trouble! When Ashley and I got here for our school trip, I thought everything would be great. What could be better than sun, sand, and cool guys with tans? I couldn't scuba dive--until I read this scary book about barracudas and jellyfish and sharks. And I started freaking out!

Aschley was too busy juggling Two boyfriends to even notice how scared I was. Finally, I pulled myself together and got rid of the book. But now I wish I had it back--because something really horrible has happened and I don't know what to do!
